When you are weary is when your level of appreciation for the every day-the mundane will increase.
After a tiring day, to be able to just sit... to enjoy every breath of life is a beautiful thing. The noises around me are what impact me the most, and last night I heard the most beautiful thing I have ever heard.
Not to say that I had never heard this beauty before, but to have the honor of hearing it on multiple occasions truly humbles me, giving me such joy that I feel that I could simply radiate awed happiness. If you have never taken the time to realize that the noise I'm talking about is among the most beautiful sounds in life, then perhaps you should try to examine the blessings you do have a little further. I assure you that you have most definitely been privy to this melodious noise at some point in your life.
It is my opinion that the most gorgeous sound I have ever been witness to hear is that of my family's laughter.
A night of rest with my family gathered around a board game, laughing together in a unity that is indescribable, was only topped off with the breathtaking thunder outside our happy home.
Falling asleep to these sounds gives me more peace than any other earthly thing that God has so graciously blessed me with, and I rejoice with thanksgiving to God for every moment of joyous laughter that He has put into my life.
What a lovely blog. I agree with you wholeheartedly. Laughter - any laughter - is amazing. It can heal and comfort and bind us together. But the laughter of one's family is surely the sweetest sound on earth. Except possibly the sound of a child calling you Mother.
